Remember how I was all nice and relaxed and zen? Not anymore.

Yesterday it was agreed that I and Group Member #2 would send our paragraphs of the law brief to Group Member #1 that night, who would assemble them in the order we'd set up. Group Member #1 sent his paragraphs to me for proofreading. They sucked horribly, I re-wrote them with helpful advice, he ignored it. Finally, just now, I asked him to e-mail me the brief and I'd just edit it and print off my own version.

"Oh," he responds, "I still haven't gotten Group Member #2's paragraphs. I should probably send her an e-mail about that."

A fucking third of the brief missing, and he didn't think to talk to her about it today in class? Or to me, for that matter? When the thing's due tomorrow?!

Screw them both. I was trying to let everyone have responsibility and not be a bossy bitch about it, but this... If she doesn't get in contact somehow I'm writing her paragraphs, stripping and re-working his, and telling the teacher exactly what happened, because I don't have to deal with this shit.

ETA: Have shut off emotions for the time being. It's not the healthiest thing I've done, but it's necessary.

Damn straight! >_< Trying to be inclusive and not bossy is all very well, but YOU don't have to let your grade be ruined because of THEM. Try to make transcripts of the e-mails involved to show the teacher, too. It'll help your case.

And the bloody project amounts to about 10% of our final grade. *moans*

The teacher's pretty good with this stuff, so I don't think I'll end up too much the worse off for it, but it's just more stress that I really didn't need. Sigh.

That's a good idea about the e-mails, thanks! *hugs*
